When The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Is An Oncoming Freight Train

Howard Galganov

When I Woke-Up this Morning & Heard the News, that Donald Trump Might Not Partially Close Down The Government, and how Schumer was Crowing at the Defeat of the President . . . I wasn’t in much of a Rush to get out the Bed.

AS A MATTER OF FACT . . . I Didn't Want To Write Today At All, because all I could Feel was Negativity to the Extreme, because of the way the LEFT is Kicking Conservative Minded People Around like a Dirty Useless Tin Can.

THE SWAMP TRUMP HAS SWORN TO DRAIN . . . IS AS DEEP AS IT GETS:

But then, as I was Preparing for the Day, by Helping Anne make the Bed as I usually do, Getting the Coffee Going, Preparing Breakfast & Caring for Stryker, I watched some Fox News, Listened to all the Insiders, which also Includes MOST of the Media, Including Most of the Fox Talking Heads . . . and Came Away with the Realization that Nothing has Changed – It Was Still The Same Old – Same Old.

President Donald Trump Isn't Getting The Wall – But Not Because Of Trump . . .

President Trump Isn't Getting The Wall . . . Because of Outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan & Senate Leader Mitch McConnell. President Trump Isn't Getting The Wall, because far Too Many Republicans, who Ran as Conservatives to Win their Seats, LIED To The Voters, so they could Satisfy their Sugar Daddies (Lobbyists).

A Politician Who Lies To Get Elected . . . Is Nothing LESS Than Despicable.

FOOL ME ONCE - SHAME ON YOU . . . FOOL ME TWICE - SHAME ON ME:

Based On Everything I Can Think Of . . . as Reality & Options are Swirling in my Head, if the 2020 Election were to be Held Today, even if Repugnant Knuckle Heads Like Ocasio-Cortez become Democrat-Prominent – There is a Chance President Trump Would Win the Oval Office, because President Trump is Doing all President Trump Can Do to Meet & Fulfill his Promises . . . but there is an even Greater Chance the Republicans . . . Would Lose The House & The Senate, DESERVEDLY-SO, Because, When They Had The Chance . . . They Crapped-Out.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER . . . FOR THE WALL NOT BEING 100% FUNDED:

It “Freaks” Me Out . . . How Ryan Held The Speakership Of TheHouse – But Pelosi Ruled The Gavel. It’s even more Incredulous to me, how Leader McConnell Holds the Gavel of the Senate, but no one seems to have Told the Media & Schumer that the Democrats aren’t in Charge.

If There Is Going To Be A Second Civil War – Blame The Republicans.

Blame The Republicans . . . Because the Republicans had the House and the Senate. But what the Republicans didn’t have . . . Was Honesty, Integrity & Courage of Conviction.

And every time a Republican from either the House or the Senate Stood-Up . . . to Stand-Up for the Principles & Promises which got Him or Her Elected, He or She was Slapped-Down by His or Her Own Party.

HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?

Even Though The Republicans In2016 . . . Won the Oval Office, the House and the Senate, it was the Democrats, through Conventional Media, Social Media, Justice Department, FBI & Only God Knows Who Else, which have Invested MILLIONSOF TAX DOLLARS - to Overthrow America’s DULLY ELECTED 45TH PRESIDENT.

NOTHING NEW HERE . . . BUT DON'T JUST KEEP WALKING – STOP & LOOK:

Now That I'm Fully Awake . . . and Having Done our Chores, took Care of Personal Business, like bringing Stryker to the Vet because he’s Suffering from a Loose Stomach, and I had my Breakfast – I've Calmed Done Some, and have Accepted the Realization that Nothing has Changed, other than the People who Care for an Honest Government . . . Even The Gullible People On The Right, Can’t Help but see for Themselves, that what they have in the Republican Party . . . Are Mostly Liars, Thieves & Cheats.

AS FOR THE COMEY & LYNCH HEARINGS . . . A MONUMENTAL WASTE OF TIME:

No-One Benefits From The Capitol Hill Burlesque Show But The LEFT & The Media.

If Anyone Thinks, even for a Nano-Second, that any LEFTIST Insider will ever be Punished for His or Her Incredible Crimes Against the American People . . . You Better Think Again.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SHOW IN TOWN THAT NEEDS WATCHING:

President Donald Trump Is Fighting Against The Entire World . . . The One-World Government Socialists, China, Russia, the EU, Islamists and the Incursion on America’s Southern Border, and Perhaps . . . Soon Enough - On America’s Northern Border Too.

And While President Trump Is Fighting On All Sides . . . for the Betterment & Preservation of American Exceptionalism, perhaps his Greatest Threat is Coming from the American Media, Academia, Justice Department, Democrats . . . And Most Succinctly - From Within His Own Party.

THE GOOD NEWS . . . Is that None of This is New, it’s been Festering for Generations – But Finally, the People can see what is Really Happening for Themselves, and as such . . . The People Can Do Something About It.

Is Building The Wall Political? I Don't Think So . . .

I Just Read that the State Department is Allocating $10-Billion to Help Mexico & South America with their Economies, in the Hope, that this Money will Keep the Barbarians From The Gates.

Imagine . . . $10-Billion Pissed-Down The Sewer Of Foreign Governments, which will do Nothing, but More or Less Represents - 50% Of The Cost Of Trump's Wall Which Would Do Everything.

We Get The Government We Deserve . . .But We Don't All Deserve The Government We Get.

YOUR COMMENTS:

If only all Republicans were like Trey Gowdy. I keep reading that $14 billion was seized from the drug cartel of el chapo and that is probably just the tip of the iceberg. I am pretty sure that easely $20 billion of seized drug money can be found and used to build the wall fully. Senator Ted Cruz recently stated that the $14 billion can be used, what took and takes the Republican so long and always at the 11th hour before they lose the house to come up with good ideas like this. Unreal !!!

Amen brother! Once again the American voting public handed the House, the Senate, and the Oval Office to the Republicans, and they again failed miserably to do what we the people mandated. I think that term limits (coupled with no special health benefits and no pensions) may be the only way to reintroduce citizen statesmen into the Congress and remedy this disgusting state of affairs. Until then, all I can do is support my President, vote every time the polls open, & share conservative ideals.

Donald Trump is backing down on the wall. Donald Trump is pulling our US troops out of Syria, screwing the Kurds and helping the Iranians/Russians. I'm not blaming Paul Ryan. I'm not blaming Mitch McConnell. I'm blaming DONALD TRUMP - you know, the President who spent 60 years as a Democrat before he decided to run for office.

Paul Ryan (supported by Boehner) = Boehner #2 (worse than a RINO). New minority leader needs to be one of the Freedom Caucus members-a genuine conservative. As for Congress, eliminate swamp/establishment w/term limits which = no benefits other than regular workers. Trump has already indicated a wall could still be built using military; I think there would be lots of support & volunteers to do just that. Otherwise a Build-The-Wall fundraiser earmarked for that purpose, funds handled by a trustee.

Living in So. Cal. as i have since '66 I have seen many changes. This state should be called "Mexifornia", because of all the, so called migration. I can't go a day without having to deal with non-English speaking immigrants. 9 Spanish TV channels, advert in Spanish, and Spanish on EVERY AND ALL OFFICIAL STATE DOCUMENTS.
This was our best, maybe last, possibility of building the wall, and I'm ashamed and angered that Trump was forced to give in. I can only hope Trump finds another way.

Canada's PM's Martin and Harper ratified the Perimeter defense treaty for North America - If Canada is perceived as unable to defend the mutual border from threats then the treaty allows that US troops may enter Canada. Canada's failures after 911 resulted in the DHS opening offices in Canada's Major cities Nation wide for the US investigators to conduct inquires in Canada - because the anti American Pro - Islam RCMP dropped the ball and/or could not be trusted.(a lot of both)

Howard, your editorial is RIGHT ON TARGET!!! The GOP is to blame & has been for a long, long time. I am ashamed that I have been a GOP voter, all my voting life. It really isn't easy being President of the USA. I feel Trump should have stood his ground & held off signing the bill(s) as long as possible, or simply have Vetoed the bill(s), period!!! The time is now to show the strength of the President's power. Congress, both houses, would have had to have 2/3 votes to over ride his Veto.

Obama can give $140 billion to a terrorist state w/no reprimands. We PAY other countries to keep their folks at home, but we can't build a wall? Trump is pulling out of Syria, The House & Senate voted us out of Yemen. There will NEVER be another penny for the wall. It is OVER! There will NOT be a second term if things don't CHANGE. I make calls constantly to HOUSE & SENATE....We have to FORCE them by barraging them & demanding what we voted for. Complacency will NOT work. MYPOV

Howard, I do not believe,"the People can see what is Really Happening for Themselves." I think they are baboozled by the media and are oblivious to reality. - (Is Building The Wall Political? I Don't Think So," neither do I but failure to fund it is political. Liberals want the wall but do not want Trump to get credit for accomplishing what they failed to do. Republicans are more than willing to promise us whatever they think we want but after being elected they reverse directions.

Did Trump lie to get elected? (Is he part of "Deep State?) Will he be a one-term POTUS? No, but he "isn't one of them" ("career politicians"), so they are "against" him! Sound familiar? (Hint: "Jesus story"- where mob "crucified" somebody with different ideas!) Lots of "tribal thinking" going on today! Paul (crybaby) Ryan is like rest of the rotten bunch serving in Congress! Perhaps something "important" (like indictments) will happen tomorrow? People are losing faith in Trump, God, and nation!

Can't help from wondering what the word REPUBLICAN now REPRESENTS because it certainly DOESN'T appear to STAND for CONSERVATISM. REPUBLICANS have become WEAK!Hence, TRUMP has NO SUPPORT! On a POSITIVE note, however, TRUMP has CONTINUOUSLY been a WINNER, even when people have felt VERY LEARY about his NEXT MOVES! For sure, the WALL is Trump's BIGGEST GOAL.He WILL BUILD it, one way or another!DON'T GIVE UP ON HIM YET, as there is a LOT MORE going on in the WHITE HOUSE than we KNOW! GO TRUMP! AMEN!

Great editorial Howard.Merry Christmas to you, Anne, Stryker and April.I do hope that Stryker's stomach is much better.I hope that Trump has something up his sleeve as the Dems and Rep's want to take him down.I hope the people wake up & do something about the Dem's and Rep's that are part of the SWAMP.My thinking on this is that Trump has been collecting information that could destroy the Democrats DNC but first he needs the law DOJ, AG, Supreme Court to be true to America by up holding the law.

No surprise no democrat liar crook being prosecuted for crimes (example the Clintons who are lower than snail slime) among others as there’s no surprise most republican house and senate members are ctoa’s. My opinion (only mine) is that the 535 bodies are working hard to keep their welfare jobs (example the likes of Ocasio-Cortez idiot). And to bring in immigrant unskilled to add to welfare rolls is treasonous, in my opinion. I’m 75, I might not be around for the civil uprising, but theres hope.

GO PRES. TRUMP, GO.....& I definitely enjoyed the other "bloggers'" comments.....PRES. TRUMP, IS ONE "SMART COOKIE", HE IS DEFINITELY "STREET SMART"! HAVING GROWN UP IN NYC!! I WOULDN'T DOUBT ANYTHING, AT THIS POINT!!! GO PRES. TRUMP, GO.....& AMEN-AMEN!!!!

Sir, I have been making the comment "Corruption Serves Corruption" for many years. This is true for the whole of Washington. There are a few good people in Washington, but they are over powered by the many money grabbing Whores that dwell there. Our country is heading towards a civil war which will not be civil. It may come sooner than we think if they impeach Our President. Watch then folks that are bailing from Washington, you will see them in Forbes soon, they will be making millions.

Right after Trump was elected, I heard a 1 term Democrat congressman (1 term because he tried to buck the system years ago). That none of the Clinton people will ever spend a day in jail because of what they did. That is not how the system works. Doesn’t matter if you are R or a D system will grind up anyone in its way including Donald Trump. How right he seems to be.
